The Toronto Mural Archive

The Toronto Mural Archive - Created with your input!

The Toronto Mural Archive is a research project and touring exhibit, the first of its kind to survey the history of mural art in Toronto. Over the next few months, Mural Routes is gathering information and stories, taking time to reflect on the field’s developments to far, and bring in all this research and information together to share in a touring exhibit.

We want to hear from you!

From January-February 2018, our team is in the process of researching, listening and gathering stories. We are connecting with artists and groups who have been leaders of the mural movements in the city, as well as the general public, to learn about what you feel has shaped Toronto's mural art scene.

That's where you come in. If you feel like you have a story or perspective to share, answer this survey and/or request to connect directly with our curator, Tara Dorey, at programs@muralroutes.ca
